Answer:

40 gal / 72 gal

lets reduce

20 / 36

(yeah, the gal reduce away as well)

reduce further

10/18

and further

5/9

done :)

Can you help me with this question.

HACTEHA [7]

For the scale factor, use the dimensions from similar sides:

Using 18 from the original image you would use 6 from the scaled image.

18 /6 = 3

This means the scaled image is 3 times smaller than the original. Because the scaled image is smaller divide 1 by the scale factor to get 1/3.

Q2:

The scale factor is 1 inch = 12 miles.

Multiply the total inches by 12:

6.5 x 12 = 78 miles.

A salesperson earns $200 a week plus a 4% commission on her sales. Which equation models the relationship between her sales in a

trasher [3.6K]

In this problem, we have the following variables:

e: The weekly earnings of a salesperson

s: sales in a given week

A salesperson earns $200 a week plus a 4% commission on her sales, that is, she earns:

<em>$200 plus 0.04 of her sales in a given week</em>

In a mathematical model, this is given by:

e = 200 + 0.04s

Step 1 -3(3x+5)-6<6

Mnenie [13.5K]

Error is between steps 4 and 5. It should say:

Step 4: -9x < 27
Now divide by -9
Step 5: x > -3
Note that the inequality changes direction.
When you mean multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, the inequality changes direction.

For example:
4 < 5
Multiply by -1:
-4 > -5

Another example:
-5 < 0
5 > 0

A sample of eight workers in a clothing manufacturing company gave the following figures for the amount of time(in minutes) need

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

$10.108 < \mu < 13.892$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

We have the following distribution for the random variable:

$X \sim N(\mu , \sigma=0.45)$

And by the central theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

2) Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:

$\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n}$ (2)

$s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}}$ (3)

The mean calculated for this case is $\bar X=12$

The sample deviation calculated $s=2.268$

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=8-1=7$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,7)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.36$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$12-2.36\frac{2.268}{\sqrt{8}}=10.108$

$12+2.36\frac{2.268}{\sqrt{8}}=13.892$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (10.108;13.892)

$10.108 < \mu < 13.892$
